4-H County Council elects 2018-19 officers

Washington County 4-H Council met Monday evening, June 18. President Shayna Mason called the meeting to order. Pledges were led by Layla Wagers and Emily Williams. Roll call was done by answering "what are your summer plans?" After the secretary's and treasurer's report, club members reported on what their club does for fair.
A report on the raffle was given and members then decided that they will not hold a carnival this year. The carnival will be held in March or April, 2019. The talent show was then discussed. It was decided that the show will be held at Fashion Revue, which is July 17. The talent show will be held after Fashion Revue is over, so the judges have time to decide the winners. It was decided that those who perform individually or as a duet will be divided into Cloverbuds, juniors, intermediates and seniors. Groups will be judged separately and can be made up of all ages. The audience will be the judges and the committee will decide if prizes will be given.
Clubs signed up to clean the grandstands during fair. Members then decided that they would help clean up around the barns at 2 p.m. Friday, July 20. Leaders were reminded that their members in good standing records need to be turned into the Extension Office by July 1. If members are not listed as in good standing, they can come before county council to explain why they should be a member in good standing.
